Till Death Do They Part: Wedding Trends That Will Always Be In Style
Trends are exactly just that — trends. Every known industry has them, every known science has them. And if there’s one thing that common among all trends is that sooner or later, they end. Let’s be honest here, while it’s nice to be up-to-date with style trends, sometimes — especially when these trends tend to change every year — there are just some pieces that you want to fall back on that will never go out of style.
The same concept and need applies to wedding decorations. While a lot of people will opt to follow some, if not all, wedding decoration trends for 2018, others simply want to keep things simple without sacrificing the elegance and solemnity of this important event.
Neutral Colors
Like in fashion, neutral colors will never go out of style. Colors like white, grey, and cream are some of the best motifs you can use for your special day. They’re clean, yet elegant to behold. A big plus here is that these color play well with literally any accent color you can think of.
Metallic Accents
Speaking of accent pieces, metallic colors — such as silver, bronze, copper, and gold — all contrast beautifully with neutral colors. These also serve to add a sense of sophistication to your wedding’s overall theme. These accents can be applied to so many aspects of your wedding, from the invitations to your wedding dress. Keep in mind though that these should be used sparingly. They are merely accents, after all.
Floral Centerpieces
Flowers have long been used to add to the visual appeal of wedding venues in the form of table centerpieces. These have symbolic value as well as an aesthetic value. They signify the blooming of a relationship and the beauty that one beholds in such an occasion.
Candlelight
Not many things can elicit a sense of romance the way that candles do. It isn’t just the candle flames that can add to your wedding’s visual appeal. You can use colored candlesticks to add more depth to your decorations. You can also arrange candles of varying heights in order to create an eye-catching entrance piece. Whatever you choose to do with candles, you can bet that they will always be leagues better than simply dimming the lights.
Calligraphy
Nothing says love more than hand-crafted items and hand-drawn art. Calligraphy is a staple at weddings because it exudes a sense of care and importance. Each stroke is carefully executed and this shows in the final result. Calligraphy can be used on wedding cakes, invitations, and a wide variety of signage. No wedding should go without it.
